Structured PICO

Does a history of diabetes mellitus increase the risk of developing idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy?

Population

387 subjects (129 newly diagnosed idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy cases from 5 Washington, DC hospitals and 258 neighborhood controls matched by sex and 5-year age intervals)

Intervention

History of diabetes mellitus

Comparator

No history of diabetes mellitus

Outcome

Diagnosis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathyhard clinical

A history of diabetes mellitus is associated with a 2.2-fold increased odds of developing idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, independent of race, income, smoking, or hypertension.
